Great bar, great drinks, great location, I try to go there often. Despite the below protestations, note that I gave the place 4-stars, which is better than what most cult-classic movies get.

That said, an anecdote...

A few weeks ago a friend related an ridiculous discussion she'd had with some of the staff at that milky tea bubble whatever place on NLGX. She wanted a shake, I believe, with bubbles in it. They absolutely refused with total disdain for her request and visible astonishment with the wiliness of her apparently absurd idea. She pushed the point out of curiosity, and after the manager contacted the national offices and spoke with the executive, the flat refusal to concoct this diabolical brew disseminated from on-high down to my buddy and then me. I marked how goofy this was and thought to myself that it would never happen in America (a nostalgic remark, mind you), only to get to MaoMaoChong and have them flat-out refuse to make me a Sazarac (a dash of a pastis away from was available on their menu). On another occasion at pffft after midnight I was denied the Wednesday-nite drink special, as it had just become Thursday. Only a couple weeks before such an extension had been granted casually.

My only other beef is the high prices, but it's understandable as the place is consistently packed and their cocktails are really exceptional. Wednesdays are best for prices, not for crowds, but reality dons at the stroke of midnite!

I'm a non-drinker, and even I was impressed with this place. Original cocktails at a decent price. If I ever have friends in town who are drinkers, I would take them to this place first.

After living in Hong Kong for a long long time, I am sick of the bars in lan kwai fong, because they have no character.

I am glad my friend took me to this wonderful bar in Beijing, it makes my night life a lot better.

Their Chocolate pizza is GREAT! Rich chocolate with fresh blood orange, plus the Rum and Raisin ice-cream - Yum!
The owners make their own ice, ask for a shot of whiskey if you liked the big rectangle ice, or one of their new cocktails if you wanted their ball shape ice with Rosemary in it. Fancy!

I had the most enjoyable experience here and I will go back there again and again. Because the service is good, the quality of the food and drinks are great!

One of the coolest bars in Beijing. We nearly froze to death while visting Beijing but found the perfect solution for warming up at Mao Mao Chong. Their warm winter cocktails are easily the best in town and well worth venturing down the hutongs. The bartender is also awesome.

Modern mixology, like today’s fine cuisine, has become a throw-down to see who can create the most complex, fascinating drinks with new flavors and nifty ingredients. Mao Mao Chong's mixologists provide a list of fantastic creative cocktails.

If you are looking for high quality but reasonably price classic cocktails, served by informative mixologists, this is the place too. They make THE BEST BLOODY MARY (also their bloody mao), MARGARITA, LONG ISLAND ICE TEA, MAI TAI, and CLASSIC MARTINI. (At least the best among the bars I have been in Beijing). Their Old Fashioned and Mojitos are very good too. When I said they are the best, trust me, they are really the best.

And they have the BEST pizzas in town.

We went to Mao Mao Chong after reading some reviews on The Beijinger. And...we completely agree with all the positive reviews! The bar is well-located just off Nanluoguxiang, it has a no-nonsense atmosphere, and very friendly staff. We love their mojitos, and their pizza is definitely worth ordering. A bit bland, but just ask for tabasco/salt and you'll love the pizza. They use fresh ingredients, and the pizza crust is delicious. Don't forget to check out their daily discounts!

If you have an insatiable appetite for cocktails, mao mao chong is the right place for you. The drinks menu offers a thirst-bustingly wide selection of Stephen's cocktail creations as well as carefully selected spirits and beers. They were even unswervingly accommodating for a companion who wanted a non-alcoholic selection! The surroundings are cool, atmospheric with the focus being on you having a great time, every time.

Great place to work up for a night out stocking up on carbs and excellent alcohol (imported beer, plenty of cocktails and seasonal specials). All the bar tenders are really great hosts. Non smoking - which is the way to go!! Good unique decor designed by Stephen, with t-shirts available.

The new bar pizza with friendly owners still; a bigger and better space with great italian styled pizza (the best dough ever)! Chocolate pizza is the treasure with a cup of coffee.
A hidden gem with great music, self-designed good quality t-shirts and great home made infused vodka.
Where else am I havin my birthday party?

so mao mao chong has moved down to a hutong between jiaodaokou and nanluoguxiang. the new location is awesome. same comfy vibe as the old place, but it's bigger and better (some great pizzas coming out of their new kitchen, new drinks like homemade lemongrass-infused vodka). stephen and stephanie, the owners, are still playing great music, and are still as cool as ever: friendly as hell. there's some new, fantastic artwork on the walls and more room to stretch your legs, but i prefer my seat right there at the bar, thank you very much, having a drink an unwinding.

solid.
